Oh man the 2771-20 M18 transfer pump was absolutely flawless today and saved me lots of time walking down to river bank to pull start my gasoline B&S powered Pacer pump.
That pump is kind of limited by the suction line I have on it. A really nice 25 ft. piece of 1-1/4" wire reinforced hose I got from NT a long, long time ago. And it's a clear hose too so can easily see the water pickup moving when priming it.
So instead today I used a 50ft piece of good quality rubber hexagonal garden hose for the pickup line which brought the pump closer to job setup. And lift was like the 12 ft mentioned in a prior post. So I actually was able to set it right under my trailer hitch connection and all I had to do was walk over and push the switch on!
Output was thru another 100ft of the same hose...2 more pieces coupled together, and I was able to water all my plants not once but TWICE on a single 9.0 amp hr. battery charge. And I have plants covering four 20x20 ft. rental areas for like a total 1600 sq. ft. worth that I have to maintain.
Worked great and if the hose kinked the sound pitch would change so I quickly knew I had kink in the hose as I was moving and could straighten it out.
Anybody that did see it operate was impressed.
Milwaukee rules!
There was one bar left showing on the ride home. Plus I cycled the pump on and off more than several times to fill 2 gallon watering cans for spot watering jobs as I noticed what needed more attention as I was working all day and dang was it ever hot. so there was lot.
My landscape friend came by earlier in the day and I gave her the run down on the pump and she told me get her one!
So I will be looking for the BEST deal on one now and maybe several 9.0 batteries too. Though a series a 5.0 will work quite well and may not get as warm as the 9.0 did on continuous pumping. But will have to see about that.
Well tomorrow's another day of fun in sun.
And have the 9.0 on the charger now.
